08/09/2023, 8:26 PMIf Kedro supports unpacking parameters dictionary, would it causes more confusion than convinence? IMO it is most beneficial if the function is reused multiple time and reduce the need of a thin function wrapper (and an extra file maybe).
I am particular interested with people who use kedro to develop packages.

Otherwise passing a dict should work already (although we didn’t promote a lot this syntax and I found many people not aware of this)
